newmarketpress@ denpubs.com CASTLETON Ñ The Vermont State Police have released the name of a third Castleton State College football player facing charges for his alleged involvement in an organized theft ring in Rutland.

Mark Comstock, a former multi-sport studentathlete for both Rutland High School and Mount St. Joseph Academy, was arrested one week after police charged teammates Brandon Boyle and George Busharis with retail theft.

Busharis was caught exiting DickÕ s Sporting Goods in possession of over $300 in stolen merchandise and admitted that Boyle had assisted him, and many other Castleton students, to steal in the weekÕ s prior.

Trooper Jason Johnson said that while all involved are being charged with retail theft, police now believe that Boyle may face embezzlement charges as well.

After all the initial arrests are made, police intend to review video surveillance from the store. Six members of the football team were suspended indefinitely, and police are waiting to confirm the name’s of the other three players.

While itÕ s too soon to tell how the suspensions will affect the team, Castleton fans hope the performance last weekend isnÕ t an indicator of the rest of the season.

The team lost to Endicott 63-7 last weekend without CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Crop Walk expected to attract thousands

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com

On Sunday, Oct. 6, Addison County volunteers will walk to raise money to fight hunger and poverty through the annual CROP Hunger Walk locally. “In 2012, the Addison County Walk was the highest grossing walk in Vermont,” according to Beth Stanway, one of the local CROP Walk organizers.

MIDDLEBURY Ñ For 36 years, members of Addison CountyÕ s church and social justice community have been well aware that rural hunger is a chronic problem in Vermont. It may not be immediately visible in the community, but itÕ s there and in need of mitigation.

And despite a half-century of fighting a national, federal war on povertyÑ with billions of dollars spentÑ there isnÕ t much to show for it; poverty and hunger go hand-in-hand. ThatÕ s why Communities Responding to Overcome PovertyÕ s Addison County CROP Walk, held in Middlebury, will again attract hundreds of concerned citizens to show their concern.

On Sunday, Oct. 6, Addison County volunteers will walk to raise money to fight hunger and poverty through the annual CROP Hunger Walk locally. Ò In 2012, the Addison County Walk was the highest grossing walk in Vermont,Ó according to Beth Stanway, one of the Addison County CROP Walk organizers. Ò Last year our Addison County CROP Hunger Walk was in the top 10 out of 94 walks held in the six New England states and Lower Hudson Valley of New York. The Addison County CROP Hunger Walk raised $25,552 in 2012. In 2011 we made $25,161.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Randy George, owner of Red Hen Bakery, addressing a Vermont Paid Sick Days rally in Middlesex. He emphasized that instituting a paid sick days policy has helped his business to grow. “I stand here today as a business owner who has learned firsthand that this is a pro-business piece of legislation,” he said.

Grassroots organizers of the Vermont Paid Sick Days campaign say the Green Mountain State is ready to make paid sick time for all a reality. Over 100 people rallied to support the campaign launch of Paid Sick Days 2014 in front of MiddlesexÕ s Red Hen Bakery, whose owners are speaking out on the benefits of paid sick time for Vermont’s small businesses. The new effort is to provide support for a paid sick day bill in the Vermont Legislature. Ò Our families, our economy, and our public health all urgently need it,Ó said worker Desiree Roberts, of Monkton, who attended the rally.

Paid Sick Days 2014 is a campaign to pass legislation ensuring a minimum standard of paid sick time in Vermont.

Roberts is employed as a service worker.

She has worked without paid sick time her entire adult career. Ò We have a duty to care for the members of our society. All of them,Ó Roberts said. Ò It is not anyoneÕ s fault when they get sick, or have a child that is ill, or an elderly parent.

These are all parts of being human, and we donÕ t seem to be making any allowances for the fact that we are human. Paid sick days are an important step forward toward a state

where all workers have their human rights met.Ó The Vermont Paid Sick Days Coalition holds that paid sick time will be good for all in VermontÑ from workers, children, and families to the local economy and public health.

At the launch, the Paid Sick Days Coalition released the results of a poll conducted Anzalone Liszt Grove Research showing nearly three-quarters of the electorate supports the bill (72 percent favor) and just 23 percent oppose it. Ò Voters made it clear that this is an issue whose time has come,Ó said Carlen Finn of Voices for VermontÕ s Children.

Finn remarked that paid sick days will create positive ripple effects for all people in Vermont, particularly families and children. Ò Everyone wants whatÕ s best for their children,Ó said Finn. Ò But without paid sick days, parents are forced to choose between financial stability and caring for their loved ones.Ó Almost 40 percent of VermontÕ s private sector workers do not have any paid sick time.

The Vermont Paid Sick Days Bill would ensure that all workers could take paid time off from work to care for their own health and safety needs as well as those of their families.

Fun, not competition, drives 5k Color Run

By Elicia Mailhiot

newmarketpress@denpubs.com FERRISBURGH Ñ There once was a time when runners took part in events commonly known as marathons. They dressed in plain clothing and embarked on a straight path from start to finish. Those days are long gone.

TodayÕ s runners need more than a simple course.

KillingtonÕ s Spartan Race put the small ski town on the map after gaining recognition from ultra-marathon crowd for its fire pits, sandbag hauls, and long-distance swimming. Now, a more light-hearted race is gaining national attention.

This yearÕ s Color Run was held Sept. 14 at the Basin Harbor Club in Ferrisburgh.

Over a thousand people arrived in white clothes, then jogged, walked, and danced past volunteers who doused them with multi-colored corn starch along various areas of the five kilometer raceway.

Samantha Ralph of Williamstown participated in the event.

According to the eventÕ s website, 60 percent of color runners are first time 5k runners as well. This was true for Ralph, who started running in the months prior to the event due to her lack of experience. One thing that sets the three- mile Color Race apart from others is that there are no winners or official times. Ò I was running a 5k in about 40 to 45 minutes before this race.

I finished that race in 30 minutes,” said Ralph. “It went by so fast and of course it wasn’t a timed race, but still felt awesome to finish way ahead of my personal time.Ó The Color Run was founded by Utah native Travis Snyder to encourage both professional racers and novices to enjoy running together.

The first event was held in Phoenix in 2012 and was attended by 6,000 people. Last year, events were held in over 50 cities and attracted over 600,000 participants. This year, the race expanded to cover 130 cities in not only North America, but also South America, Europe, and Australia.

Samantha Ralph (center) shares a moment with friends Joanne Perry (left) and Melissa Blais Floersch (right) after completing the 5K Color Run in Vergennes last week.

Snyder emphasizes that unlike other races, the Color Run promotes fun over competition Ò We call The Color Run the Ô Happiest 5K on the PlanetÕ because our events bring together friends and family in a unique, healthy, and fun environment,Ó he said.

The sense of camaraderie was what attracted Ralph to the run in the first place. Ò YouÕ d be standing in a crowd of a hundred people dancing, bumping, laughing with total strangers, but it was like you were

best friends,Ó she said. Ò I had no idea who the person was next to me who sprayed the color all over me, but we had fun doing it!Ó The color spray is similar to a crayon exploding, but is the highlight of the run, said Ralph. Ò When the buzzer sounded and you got your chance to run through the color spray it was the biggest deal,Ó she said. Ò I mean, there were people who walked up to the jets and stood there who were emerged totally in pink.Ó

From the Editor

Viewpoint

ince the 1980s, I have come full circle in my thinking about the nationÕ s marijuana laws. Here in Vermont, Gov. Peter Shumlin, and many of his fellow Democrats in the State Legislature, support the move to legalizing marijuana here.

I believe itÕ s time for conservative legislators and residents to look at the now 50-year-old marijuana issue in a realistic, libertarian frame of mind.

HereÕ s are some comments for those who are against legalizing marijuanaÑ potÑ in Vermont: 1. The Ò drug cultureÓ argument is old hat now. Like it or not, we all feed the need for drugs in our society.

With millions of us already taking (and in many cases abusing) legal drugs and spiritsÑ ranging from antidepressants to beerÑ is marijuana any worse?

2. The Ò marijuana equals crimeÓ argument doesnÕ t hold up either. Legalize pot and we get rid of the crime elementÑ the illegal sellers and buyersÑ in our current, underground marijuana trade.

3. The argument that Ò marijuana leads to more serious drugsÓ doesnÕ t seem to hold up, at least by a number of respected medical studies in recent years.

4. The Ò what does society get out of it?Ó argument can be easily countered, too: If the State of Vermont legalizes marijuana, it must surely tax it as heavily as it does tobacco products; this will provide Montpelier with a reliable revenue stream. Taxing marijuana will help fund a variety of social and infrastructure projects.

VermontÕ s future marijuana smokers should pay, at my estimate, $10 per pack of 10 smokes. I should think legislators would love to see all sorts of colorful, state tax stamps smothering a pack of marijuana cigarettes.

4. Some may like to smoke marijuana for a Ò buzzÓ , but there are far more productive and meaningful things to do with the Cannabis plantÑ such as using it as the basis of what could be a highly profitable Vermont hemp-fiber industry. (Yes, I know that the hemp plant doesnÕ t contain the same concentrations of psychoactive drug compounds found in the same plant when grown for smoking, but it gets lumped in there just the same.)

Hemp is natural, durable and would make a superb addition to the stateÕ s Ò Made in VermontÓ portfolio of products. So, why not just legalize potÑ in all its varieties, for pleasure, commerce, and tax revenues.

Just last week we saw a clear view of the coming changes; it was seen in the flying of an American flag—made from hemp fibers—outside the Vermont State House in Montpelier.

On Sept. 17, officials of Rural Vermont hosted a reception with remarks by Colorado’s Hemp Commissioner Mike Bowman; the same officials praised Montpelier’s proactive legislation allowing hemp cultivation in the Green Mountain State. Ò Vermont farmers are ready to lead the nation and considering the U.S. Justice DepartmentÕ s recent marijuana ruling, many legal experts believe that the states have been given the green light in allowing hemp cultivation as their laws allow,Ó said Rural VermontÕ s Robb Kidd during the reception.

While you may or may not use marijuana yourself, you must admit that thereÕ s a growing sense here that legal changes are long overdue.

I believe that the views expressed by science writer Ann DruyanÑ the widow of the astronomer Carl Sagan—reflect the thinking of a growing number of young and middle-aged Vermonters: Ò I really believe that the marijuana laws are a terrible injustice. They make no sense scientifically, ethically, legally, or any way. They cost a fortune to enforce and we incarcerate hundreds of thousands of people who have done nothing else, but possess or distribute marijuana. Maybe itÕ s because IÕ m a child of the Ô 60s and marijuana has been such a positive part of my life. I have never seen it as being addictive, having spent weeks, and months, and days of my lifeÑ and yearsÑ without using marijuana in any form... ThereÕ s a place for alcohol, too, but thereÕ s no reason why adults shouldnÕ t be allowed to do something which not only doesnÕ t add harm to themselves or others, but is a way to enhance the beauty of life, the beauty of eating, of listening to music, of being with friends and family, of being with the one you love.Ó Lou Varricchio The Vermont Eagle

Second arrest made in teen’s fatal ATV crash

Vermont Eagle - 5

Denu is Chamber’s Citizen of the Year

By Gail Callahan

newmarketpress@denpubs.com HINESBURG Ñ The Hinesburg Police charged a second man in connection with the May 11 fatal ATV accident that claimed the life of a local teenager According to police, Clifton Norris, 16, has a blood alcohol level of 0.115 percent at the time of the accident. The legal limit in Vermont os 0.8.

At first, police accused Kent Richland, 27, of Shelburne of buying the alcohol and giving it to Norris. He informed police that another individual was the one responsible for the purchase. He said that he had cell phone messages and texts would prove another was responsible for supplying Norris with the liquor.

Hinesburg Chief of Police Frank Koss and his officers cited Patrick Poon, 27, of Williston in addition to Richland. Poon is charged with suspicion of furnishing alcohol to a minor with death resulting.

Richland is still charged with participating in helping to set up PoonÕ s purchase of the alcohol, however, Koss believes the investigation is now completed. Ò ItÕ s unlikely there will be more arrests,Ó he said. Ò WeÕ re pretty much where weÕ re at now.Ó Both charges are felonies. The two men are slated to appear in Vermont District Court Sept. 26.

Other awards presented at Basin Harbor From News & Staff Reports newmarketpress@denpubs.com

FERRISBURGH Ñ The Addison County Chamber of Commerce recognized local businesses, organizations, and individuals with its annual awards during the its annual meeting held on Sept. 12 at Basin Harbor Club in Ferrisburgh.

Three awards were presented in front of a crowd of nearly 100 attendees which included Chamber members and local business peopleÑ Swift House Inn in Middlebury was presented with the 2013 Business of the Year Award which recognizes businesses that possess excellent business practices and have a positive economic impact on the community through improvements or sustained efforts. Owned by Dan and Michele Brown, the 22-room Swift House Inn competes with the larger properties in the area.

In addition to the Business of the Year award, the Addison County Chamber presented its 2013 Buster Brush Citizen of the Year Award to Eric Denu, owner of MiddleburyÕ s Countryside Carpet and Paint and Bridport resident.

The award is named after the late Buster Brush who exemplified community service through the many things he did. Some of BusterÕ s particular interests were Rotary Club where he was a longtime member and served as president. Buster also was a tremendous supporter of young adults.

Denu carries the spirit and the specific activities for which Buster was so well known. Eric is very involved with the Mid-

dlebury Rotary Club as a longtime member and also as a past president. There isnÕ t a Rotary project or an initiative in which he hasnÕ t participated from Merry Mulch, where the club picks up Christmas trees in Middlebury, to the flag project, and much more.

Denu has long led the effort to educate the club on the Rotary Foundation and to encourage support of it. The Foundation supports many beneficial efforts including international ones, the most well-known of which is the campaign to eradicate polio around the world. Similar to Buster, Denu is a multiple Paul Harris Award recipient which recognizes service and financial support of the Foundation. To top off his Rotary career, although heÕ s certain to continue for a long time, Eric is becoming increasingly involved on the district leadership level.

Like Buster, Denu is generous with both time and money.

Countryside Carpet & Paint has been supportive of community projects without any desire for recognition. One of the most recent donations was to the newest Habitat for Humanity House.

The ChamberÕ s Community Achievement Award was presented to Addison County Home Health and Hospice, which for the past 45 years has been an integral part of the healthcare delivery system in Addison County.

Jane Kearns, R.N., was recognized as Vermont representative to Top 50 Home Care and Hospice Nurses. Recently, the National Association of Home Care & Hospice and the Home Healthcare Nurses Association announced the top 50 home care and hospice nurses from across the country and Kearns was chosen to represent Vermont.

Towns collaborate on sidewalk project From News & Staff Reports

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ According to Middlebury Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay, the towns of Middlebury and Weybridge are collaborating on a planning and feasibility study for sidewalk connections and pedestrian system improvements along Seymour Street and Pulp Mill Bridge Road. Providing a safe link between the towns for non-motorists along these roads is a desired goal of both towns, Ramsay said.

The first step in the planning process is co-hosting a Local Concerns Meeting scheduled on Oct. 8 at 5:30 p.m. at the Middlebury Town Offices. The purpose of the meeting is to present the project goals and provide the opportunity for the public to express support or concerns.

The purpose of the scoping study is to arrive at consensus for a preferred alternative alignment of a new sidewalk and other pedestrian improvements including crosswalks at key intersections. The end product - the Pulp Mill Bridge Area Sidewalk Scoping Report, a document that will detail several topics related to the feasibility of the alternative - will serve as the basis for applying for and receiving grant funding to move forward with project development and construction.

The cost of the study is being funded through a grant from the Federal Highway Administration and supervised by the Vermont Agency of Transportation .

The towns will contribute 20 percent of the cost through public

funds, staff and volunteer in-kind services. The study is being conducted in order to qualify and compete for future funding for design and construction from the Vermont Transportation Alternatives and Bicycle and Pedestrian Programs. A key to being successfully funded is demonstration of local support.

The study is being conducted by a consulting team led by Kevin Russell, Community Development Service, Waitsfield, and includes the services of Phelps Engineering, Inc., Middlebury, and UVM Archeological Consulting Program.

The Addison County Regional Planning Commission is providing important management and other planning resources toward the study.

An advisory committee has been established to work with the project team that includes representatives from Town of Middlebury, led by Ramsay, and the Town of Weybridge, represented by Chairperson Jan Albers of the Planning Commission.

The project team and committee will begin to develop various ideas and alignments and identify various attributes, issues and impacts related to each. Ideas will be prepared for presentation to the public again at an Alternatives Presentation on a date to be determined in November.

Route 116 traffic addressed in meetings

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs. com HINESBURG Ñ When you ask Alex Weinhagen, director of Planning & Zoning for the Town of Hinesburg, about traffic problems around town, he doesnÕ t mince words. Ò Anyone who drives

through Hinesburg on Route 116 during prime commuting times will tell you that there are traffic congestion issues,” he said. Ò In fact, some evenings, during the peak commuting hour, the Hinesburg village-area segment of Route 116 looks more like a long parking lot rather than a state highway.Ó You might wonder what happened to HinesburgÕ s plan for Ò smart growthÓ ?

Judging by the summers of 2011 through 2013, thereÕ s growth but it doesnÕ t look very smart.

A community forum held at the Hinesburg Town Office Sept. 24 collected public feedback on various plans to remedy the traffic problems. Opinions varied but it was clear residents are stressed about

the congestion on local roadways especially Route 116. Ò The Town of Hinesburg and the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission are working together on the Route 116 corridor through the village of Hinesburg study,Ó Weinhagen said after the meeting. Ò The public meeting was held to get the communityÕ s input on important issues that the study should address, and to gather ideas for solutions. This meeting was the first in a series of three public meetings through the course of the study.Ó Future meetings are also planned for November and January, Weinhagen noted.

According to Weinhagen, the proposed corridor study will include both the roadway, the surrounding community,

and environment. Ò It will explore a broad range of ways to address traffic safety and congestion issues that may involve new streets and intersections, changes in growth patterns, and more widespread use of bicycling, walking, ridesharing and public transit,Ó he said. Ò Anyone who drives through Hinesburg on Route 116 during prime commuting times will tell you that there are traffic congestion issues.

Guest Viewpoint

Peter’s peculiar points of fact

O

n Sept. 5, Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin gave a televised interview to Steve Pappas, editor of the Times Argus.

The bulk of it dealt with the new health insurance Exchange and its scheduled successor Green Mountain Care. As usual, the governor appeared articulate and well informed.

The problem is that the information Shumlin hands out often bears only a tenuous relationship to the truth.

Shumlin offered as an important reason for moving into single payer health care the inability of hospitals to share patient data and diagnostic results. A single payer system, he said, would solve this problem.

He cited a Fletcher Allen patient who subsequently went to Dartmouth Hitchcock, which proposed to run the tests all over again because they (allegedly) couldnÕ t obtain the previous test results from Fletcher Allen.

But why do we need Green Mountain Care to solve this problem? In 2008, when Shumlin was Senate leader, the legislature passed a law (Act192) that authorized a Health Information Technology (HIT) plan to create Ò an integrated electronic health information infrastructure for the sharing of electronic health information among health care facilities, health care professionals, public and private payers, and patients.Ó The legislature also levied a new tax of .199 of one percent of health insurance claims to pay for implementing the plan. Three years into this program the HIT plan required even more money, so in 2011 the legislature (many of whose members regularly intone that Ò health insurance is not affordableÓ ) quadrupled the tax rate on claims, which Shumlin signed into law.

But now, five years into this program, the governor says we need a new multibillion dollar single payer plan to somehow make the providers share medical information that Vermonters have already spent millions of dollars in higher premiums to make possible.

Shumlin again invoked his mantra of Ò health care is a right, not a privilegeÓ . He may believe that health care ought to be a right, but it simply is not. Even the Democratic legislature that approved ShumlinÕ s landmark health care bill (Act 48 of 2011) stopped short of declaring health care to be a right, describing it only a Ò public goodÓ (which it also is not).

Shumlin then stated that Ò Americans born today are projected to live less long than their parents.Ó Unless somebody is projecting an asteroid impact, this is obviously false. According to the World Bank, using U.S. government data, American children born today can expect to live 78.64 years. Their parents in 1990 could expect 75.22 years; every cohort before that expected even fewer years of life.

Shumlin let loose this whopper: Ò American health care costs are three to four hundred times the spending of other developed countries.Ó LetÕ s assume Shumlin was referring to per person spending. According to the OECD, Americans (public and private) in 2009 spent $7,960 per person, which is two and half times the OECD average of $3,283 per person.

To get a fantastic multiplier like Ò three or four hundredÓ , one would have to match AmericaÕ s total health care spending with that of with some very small developed country Ð say Estonia, with a population four tenths of a percent of ours.

In the same interview, on another topic, Shumlin averred that Vermont Yankee would require three hundred employees for five or six years after shutting down in October 2014; thus there would be no catastrophic Ò jobs cliffÓ in the local economy.

According to experts in nuclear plant decommissioning, the real employment number will be around three hundred during the first year after Vermont Yankee’s shutdown, and less than 100 after two years. These will mostly be guards and plumbers, not high income executives and engineers.

ItÕ s not uncommon for politicians to play fast and loose with facts. But few play so fast and loose, with such seeming sincerity, as Peter Shumlin. This could lead to a credibility problem.

Hinesburg board hears concerns about fluoride in water

By Gail Callahan

newmarketpress@denpubs.com HINESBURG Ñ A Hinesburg resident, concerned about reports about potential harm fluoride poses, took his worries to the Board of Selectmen this month, and members want to hear from the public about the issue.

Karl Novak, who was unavailable for comment this week, introduced the question about fluoride’s effects in a letter to local media. Citing studies performed in Israel, Novak noted the country will cease adding the chemical to its water supply in just under a year. In the letter, he pointed out many doctors oppose adding fluoride to drinking water because of the harmful side effects people in ill health can suffer.

The Hinesburg Board of Selectmen listened to NovakÕ s concerns during its Sept. 16 meeting. Selectmen decided comments presented during the hearing were Ò informational,Ó and no vote would be taken at the time. However, the issue could be voted on as early as Oct. 21, according to Board of Selectman Chairman Jon Trefry.

Residents, who also spoke during the meeting, also expressed

gratitude that a representative from the Vermont Health Department also attended.

During an interview from his Hinesburg home, Trefry noted the topic had gained popularity on Front Porch Forum. He said he read numerous comments from other residents about fluoride and its impact on health, basing concerns about fluoride since it is in water supply that is directed to public organizations, such as the school and to restaurants, along with residences. The chemical is known to help prevent tooth decay.

Trefry added that daily water readings are taken by town officials, measuring fluoride levels. He also pointed out that 5 milligrams are added to HinesburgÕ s water supply, bringing it up to 7.5. Ò I was surprised more people didnÕ t attend,Ó Trefry said. Ò Six to eight people spoke against having fluoride in the water.”

Trefry added he hoped to have the question on the November ballot, but added that could happen if the Board votes to repeal the ordinance by next month.

Young social entrepreneurs tell stories from the field

By Stephen Diehl

Middlebury College MIDDLEBURY Ñ Middlebury College Rabeya Jawaid, class of Õ 16, launched her presentation without saying a word, yet no one in the crowded Axinn campus classroom could look away.

Jawaid was speaking Pakistani sign language, making a visual point about the work she did with impoverished deaf women in Karachi over the summer. After a minute, she began to speak. Ò As a Pakistani woman, I can tell you itÕ s not easy being a woman in Pakistan,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s definitely not easy being a poor woman in Pakistan. So I just want you to imagine what itÕ s like being a deaf poor woman in Pakistan.Ó Jawaid said an internship at a deaf research center in Karchi sparked her interest in sign language and deaf culture.

Jawaid hatched an idea to train deaf women in sewing, screenprinting and embroidery, giving them entrŽ e into PakistanÕ s flourishing clothing industry. This past summer she successfully launched her skill development plan, hiring skilled trainers Ð conversant in sign language, of course Ð and recruiting trainees.

Her project was one of four funded in part by summer grants from MiddleburyÕ s Center for Social Entrepreneurship. The projects, which also took place in Chicago, Swaziland, and Burundi, were a chance to test out solutions to a range of social problems.

Community News Annual Clifford Symposium tackles translation

MIDDLEBURY Ñ Translation and its integral role in our lives will be the focus of MiddleburyÕ s annual Clifford Symposium Sept. 26-28.

Translation in a Global Community will bring together experts from Middlebury College, the Monterey Institute of International Studies, and the larger national and international communities to shed light on the contributions of translators and translation in an increasingly complex world. Ò We all do it every day, usually unconsciously, from written to oral, from images to text,Ó said Stephen Snyder, Kawashima Professor of Japanese Studies at Middlebury and one of the eventÕ s organizers. Ò This collaboration with Monterey lets us share deep expertise from both of our faculties with students and the community.Ó David Bellos, director of the Program in Translation and Intercultural Communication at Princeton University, will give the keynote address on Thursday, Sept. 26, titled Ò Making Maigret New.Ó Bellos, who is also professor of French, Italian and comparative literature at Princeton, is the author of Ò Is That a Fish in Your Ear? Translation and the Meaning of Everything.Ó

Hunger Council convenes in Addison County

MIDDLEBURY Ñ Hunger Free VermontÕ s Hunger Council of Addison County convened Sept. 16 to learn about the important role that school meal programs play in addressing childhood hunger.

The council will hear from Hunger Free VermontÕ s Child Nutrition Advocacy Manager and a panel of Addison County school food service directors and farm to school coordinators who will share challenges and successes of getting nutritious meals to children at school each day, increasing enrollment in school meal programs, and providing local foods in school cafeterias.

Each year, over 37,000 Vermont children rely on free and reduced lunch at school. Beginning this August, all Vermont students who qualify for reduced price school meals will receive both school breakfast and lunch at no cost. This means that many more children can access nutritious school meals each day, providing these children a greater chance of academic success.

Council members highlight successful school lunch and farm to school programs, and learn how increasing school meal participation can benefit Addison County families, schools, and communities. The council will develop strategies for informing the community that this year it is even more important that every Addison County family turn in their school meal application to ensure that every eligible student has access to nutritious school meals each day, and that school meal programs have the funds they need to continue expanding farm to school and local food programs.

Members of the Hunger Council of Addison County said they will mobilize community members to affect change.

At the Sept. 16 meeting, the council discussed the challenges of meeting the needs of Addison County children in order to identify actionable items for moving forward.

Fund announces gifts to local community

VERGENNES —Officials of the Samara Fund, a component fund of the Vermont Community Foundation, announced awards of $48,625 in grants and scholarships in its second annual competitive grant round at the foundation, including support for Vermont Pride events Sept. 15.

The fund awarded $40,625 to 18 nonprofits for program and operating support and $8,000 in scholarships to six exceptional high school seniors.

This yearÕ s grantmaking was made possible in part by a gift from the Johnson Family Foundation, as well as gifts to the Samara Fund by Vermonters and others who support VermontÕ s LGBTQ community.

The awards support a variety of programs that address LGBTQ needs, ranging from Burlington High SchoolÕ s Pride Alliance and Common Ground CenterÕ s Camp Outright, a youth summer camp partnership with Outright Vermont, to Vermont CARES and other HIV/AIDS service organizations.

RutlandÕ s Paramount Theater received $2,000 to support an artistÕ s residency program with openly gay Korean-American violinist AmadŽ us Leopold.

Bruce Bouchard, executive director of the Paramount Theater,

said, Ò Following the performance Leopold was mobbed by 60 kids. Many of the students have stayed in touch with him. There is nothing more powerful than art in exposing young evolving minds and sensibilities to the idea that we can, quite possibly, live in a world that works for everyone.Ó Samara Fund grants and scholarships in the EagleÕ s coverage area include the John Graham Shelter of Vergennes which received $1,000 to support services for homeless LGBTQ youth and adults, the Paramount Theater of Rutland which received $2,000 for an artistÕ s residency program with Amadeus Leopold, a Korean-American violinist, the AIDS Project of Vermont received $3,000, Pride Vermont received $2,000, and a LGBTQ scholarship granted at Vergennes Union High School.

Blind Assoc. seeks volunteer in Vergennes area

VERGENNES — The non-profit Vermont Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired has a rewarding volunteer opportunity for a Volunteer Driver.

Three visually impaired women residing in Vergennes need transportation on the third Monday of each month to attend a group session in Middlebury from 10 a.m. to noon.

The group is vital to assist them with peer support and education so they might lead a more independent life.

The volunteer position will entail picking up the consumers up and taking them once per month to their group then returning them to their homes. This is a one-on-one volunteer experience.

Volunteer drivers are the key to keeping Vermonters affected by vision loss living independently, by being able to continue to meet their own basic needs.

VABVI volunteers receive mileage reimbursement for the use of their cars.

If you can help or would like more information, call Tina tollfree 1-877--350-8839.

VSAC college-bound info session at VUHS
